It was a HARD push from the butterfly reserve to Taxco on Tuesday– especially after the long hike up in the morning. The journey around the city of Toluca was confusing and stressful. Our maps were outdated, roads were under construction and the traffic was extremely heavy.
With no RV parks available, the four bleary eyed, rummy vagabundos motored up the hill into Taxco to a motel, with barely enough energy left to drag themselves out of the trucks and pour glasses of red wine. Lonnie disappeared for close to an hour, causing the remaining trio some worry, only to arrive with a yummy pizza, which brought us back to life. Energized by our gringo snack, we hopped into a “collectivo” – a van – which delivered us to the Zocalo – the central square of Taxco. Several silver jewelry shops around the square were still open, so we browsed and strolled around – reviewing restaurant menus in anticipation of tomorrow night’s dinner.
Our motel accommodations were not the best and it seemed that the entire canine population of Taxco was stationed right outside our windows and carried on noisily throughout the night. Over morning coffee, we decided to have breakfast in the Zocalo, do a little shopping and then head up to Cuernavaca in the afternoon. Wednesday night, we are enjoying the peace and quiet of the El Paraiso RV Park in Cuernavaca.
Tomorrow, we’ll head out to Puebla early, so we’ll have time to explore some of the archeological ruins in the afternoon.
